With rapid urbanization and reckless urban development in the 21st century, the urban environment has gradually gotten worse, and urban heat island effect has been dramatically intensified. Thus, the importance of street greenery that can mitigate the urban heat island effect has further been highlighted. In this regard, this study was aimed at selecting suitable plant species for street greenery to reduce the urban heat island effect. Towards this end, five roads located in Seocho-gu, Seoul were selected as study sites, and plant species composition and difference of surface temperature were compared and analyzed in relation to the light transmittance. The street with the greatest temperature difference is Bangbae-ro(Platanus occidentalis). On the other hand, the road with the lowest temperature difference is Nambusunhwan-doro(Metasequoia Glyptostroboides). The effect of temperature reduction was found to be associated with light transmittance.Bangbae-ro(Platanus occidentalis) with the lowest light transmittance showed the highest temperature difference and Nambusunhwan-doro(Metasequoia Glyptostroboides) with the highest light transmittance showed the lowest temperature difference. It is analyzed that there are most differences in temperature when the amount of lights coming in between the crown is small. The temperature reduction effect can be obtained by planting deciduous broad-leaved trees. Also species with dense crown and broad width of crown will be able to maximize the effect of temperature reduction. In future studies, it will be necessary to expand the other species of trees in the street, and analyze the germicidal trees and shrubs as well as the differences in the packaging materials.

The objective of this study is to investigate numerically the effect of building roof shaps on wind flow and pollutant dispersion in a street canyon with one row of trees of pore volume, $P_{vol}=96%$. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is used to evaluate air flow and pollutant dispersion within an urban street canyon using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the Explicit Algebraic Reynolds Stress Models (EARSM) based on k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model to close the equation system. The numerical model is performed with ANSYS-CFX code. Vehicle emissions were simulated as double line sources along the street. The numerical model was validated by the wind tunnel experiment results. Having established this, the wind flow and pollutant dispersion in urban street canyons (with six roof shapes buildings) are simulated. The numerical simulation results agree reasonably with the wind tunnel data. The results obtained in this work, indicate that the flow in 3D domain is more complicated; this complexity is increased with the presence of trees and variability of the roof shapes. The results also indicated that the largest pollutant concentration level for two walls (leeward and windward wall) is observed with the upwind wedge-shaped roof. But the smallest pollutant concentration level is observed with the dome roof-shaped.

The street system in multi-family housing is an important design element to control the circulation of vehicles and pedestrians, and to form the spatial organization of the projects. In particular, in the case of high-rise apartments, the street patterns have an influence on the safety, amenity, and convenience of facilities. Until now, however, the design of street patterns in most high-rise multi-family housing projects has diminished the quality of residential environments because priority of design consideration has primarily been given to planning road ways and parking areas. Nevertheless, the design competitions introduced for the first time in the 1980s have played a significant role in developing fresh ideas and concepts in housing design. Because street patterns have been respectably modified as a result of the generalizing of design competitions, it is important to review the ideas that have been proposed in competitions over the recent past. In this context, this study classified the types of street patterns and analyzed their design characteristics for the proposals of housing design competitions since the 1990s. As a result of this analysis, the road patterns are classified into 4 types: 1) serial type, 2) isolated type, 3) mixed type, and 4) not a road pattern due to the system of connection. In addition, these were further divided into 8 types: 1) loop, 2) ring, 3) penetration, 4) tree, 5) direct entry, 6) ring and penetration, 7) loop and penetration, 8) not a road pattern due to appearance and the collector.

본 연구는 임해매립지에서 생태적인 복구를 위한 토양관리 방안을 제시하기 위하여 매립특성에 따라 준설매립지역에서 매립연도를 구분하여 준설토의 화학적 특징을 조사하였고, 수목이 염류에 피해를 받지 않도록 여러 가지 식재기반을 조성한 후 조성방법에 대한 염류차단 효과를 검토하였다. 준설초기의 토양은 침출용액의 pH 7.5, EC $11.3{\sim}10.6dSm^{-1}$ 치환성나트륨백분율이 34.8~35.2%로 알칼리성염류토양의 특징을 나타냈고, EC, 치환성 $Na^+$, $Cl^-$의 양은 매립 후 6년까지 현저하게 감소되었으나 토양의 화학적 특성은 수목이 생장하기에는 아주 부적절한 조건을 가지고 있었다. 식재기반 조성지에서 토양중 치환성나트륨백분율은 표층보다 심층에서 높았으며, 완충녹지보다 근린공원과 가로수지역에서 높게 나타났다. 토양포화침출용액에서 $Na^+$, $Cl^-$와 $SO_4^{2-}$의 농도는 다른 이온들보다 높았고, $Na^+$, $Cl^-$의 농도는 표층보다 심충에서 증가하였으며, 완충녹지보다 근린공원과 가로수지역에서 높았다. 토양중 $Ca^{2+}+Mg^{2+}$ 함량은 근린공원과 가로수지역보다 완충녹지에서 높았으나 토양 포화침출용액내 $Ca^{2+}+Mg^{2+}$ 함량은 완충녹지보다 근린공원과 가로수에서 높았는데 이는 토양중 치환성 $Na^+$ 함량 차이에서 기인되었다. 따라서 임해매립지의 식재기반 조성방법에 대한 염류차단효과는 완충녹지가 가장 높았으며, 가로수지 역에서 염분농도는 가장 높게 나타났다. 그리고 동일한 식재기반 조성에 대하여 성토높이에 따라서 염분차단 효과는 다르게 나타나 성토 높이가 70cm보다 120cm인 지역이 토양중 염분농도가 낮았다.

Urban greenery is an important component of urban environment and is fast gaining prominence especially in the developing countries. The destruction of urban trees has resulted to the degradation of the environment, thus the introduction of green Kumasi project by Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, Ashanti Region of Ghana. The composition and diversity of urban trees gives rise to adequate management and monitoring, thus an inventory of urban trees of the Metropolis was conducted to document complete information on its density, diversity, composition and distribution. A total tree population of 1,101 was enumerated in the principal roads of the Metropolis. The ten most encountered tree species accounted for 61.04% of all the individual tree populations with Mangifera indica being dominant. The dominant families: Fabaceae, Moraceae and Arecaceae constitute 38.57% of the tree population. Diversity of the tree species was very high. The minimum diversity criteria were met on analysis of the diversity of this population. The proportion of exotic species was high with 65.71% of the trees belonging to the introduced species. It is recommended that greater emphasis should be placed on the planting of indigenous trees in future tree planting exercise.

In this study, we measured the Index of Greeness(I.O.G) and analyzed factors that affect in downtown street of Seoul. The aim of this article is to provide an ways of improving I.O.G, with an emphasis on accuracy of measurement. We utilized the autimatic measurment techniques proposed by Tonosaki to solve the problem of accuracy in measurement. The result is as follows : Firstly, the average I.O.G of Gwanghwamun Plaza is 15.76%, Jongno is 11.48% and Dasanro(from Yaksu station to Beotigogae station) is 6.36%. According to the comprehensive analysis in three reseach areas, it shows that I.O.G is intimately linked with planting method, species of trees and the presence of wall planting. Secondly, it was analyzed that grass and ground-cover planting promote I.O.G better than other method. The I.O.G of photo which contains grass is 45.47%. According to the comparative analysis between tree planting and multi-planting method, the presence of lower planting showed a difference about 8.77% of I.O.G.. From the persipective of I.O.G, tree planting with two lines is more effective than one. The difference of two ways is about 3.24%. Thirdly, it is an efficint way to use the wall planting or vertical planting in order to promote I.O.G.. In Dasanro, The I.O.G of photo which contains wall planting or vertical planting is 45.47% in contrast to the average of I.O.G. is 6.36%. Fourthly, the difference of I.O.G between broadleaf tree and needleleaf tree was larger than we thought. If look closely confined to this study, the I.O.G of street planted by Pine is 3.61% and Eastern Sycamore Family Bottonwood is 12.55%.

The tulip tree ($Liriodendron$ $chinense$) has been widely cultivated in Korea as a street or garden tree for its large flowers, which have a superficial resemblance to tulips. Occurrence of anthracnose disease on the leaves of tulip trees growing on the campus of Gyeongsang National University, Jinju, Korea, has been observed. Based on mycological characteristics, pathogenicity, and internal transcribed spacer sequence, the causal fungus was identified as $Colletotrichum$ $gloeosporioides$. This is the first report on anthracnose disease caused by $C.$ $gloeosporioides$ on tulip trees in Korea.

In urban spaces surrounded by buildings, trees could disperse sound energy, which affect sound level distribution and street canyon reverberation. Therefore, this paper examines the amount of scattered sound energy from a tree in open field by means of a reverberation time (RT). Five trees of different species and crown sizes were considered. The influential factors include crown size and shape, foliage condition, and source-receiver distance. The results show that RT is proportionally increased with the increase of tree crown sizes, which is the most determining factor. The maximum RT measured was 0.34 sec at 4000 Hz for the studied trees in leaf. The presence of leaves increased RT at high frequencies, typically by 0.14 sec at 4000 Hz. With increasing source-receiver distance within 40 m, RT was slightly changed.
